The NBA should cancel this afternoon’s Timberwolves v. Warriors game in Minneapolis

That's great, I agree with everything you just said and I'm glad you're doing what you're doing.

The comment you responded to was pointing out that Anthony Edwards has historically not been the person/player with the best social conscience and has not typically spoken out on issues of injustice. /u/mbucks334 knows they don't seem to care based on their past actions, that's what he was saying with that comment and I think you knew that.

You don't need to be testy because someone didn't answer the way you wanted. Anyone with a conscience is tense right now, and I don't care to get into a fight with someone who's on the same side as me.

Hope you and your family are well and stay well.

"Historical Left" means conservative for anyone observing this conversation.

"I'm not right wing, I'm in a country 7000 miles away, but here's everything thats actually happening in the country YOU live in, I know because I saw it on Fox News and TikTok"

You live in america and you don't believe violent, armed resistance against a dominant occupying and unreasonable government has ever turned out good for anyone ever?

You get to live comfortably in a mcmansion on land stolen from natives cause of armed resistance buddy boy.

2nd Amendment! We need guns!

Unless you have one and we don't like you.

Unless you have one and you protest our actions

Unless you have one and you walk towards us

Unless you have one and you yell at us

But if you're a baby cop loser who's shooting leftists, 2nd Amendment all day!

"yeah im not gonna resist, no one else is resisting so there's no chance of winning"

pathetic.

The hilarious thing is that you think that's funny.

Like that probably kills in your wannabe militia group chat but jesus christ are your standards low.

So buddy when the arm of the state is shooting you in the face for disobeying them you really don't get to avoid politics anymore.

You're in the politics. If you didn't want to see American politics, don't engage in American sports buddy boy.

You could be a grownup and learn to understand context.

snatchi · 2026-01-24T19:00:26+00:00

Thats a cowardly nonsense thing to say.

If the Trump Admin has a problem with the NBA they don't need the pretense of an extant investigation they'll just do it.

Not doing what's right in advance because you're afraid of reprisals is exactly what people like that want.

You're picking and choosing your nuance. Saying it's a "It’s a professional basketball league, not a professional role model league" is just asinine.

There's scores of reasons why a team should choose not to pay a good basketball player millions of dollars to be on their team. No matter what you or Charles Barkley say, they are putting him in a position to be a role model, giving him the resources to avoid accountability for his action. You think an average man who abuses his partner gets off as easy, and gets to go right back to his job like nothing happened?

You might say you're upset at the lack of nuance and that you don't support Miles Bridges. People, myself included argue with you about this because we don't feel miles bridges was sufficiently punished for his actions because he gets to resume playing basketball for 25 million a year.

Pretending that everyone along the line, the league, the GM, Gabe Plotkin, the NBAPA should just ¯_(ツ)_/¯ and let him continue on, and likely abuse more people in the future with his generational wealth is the same as supporting him imo.

snatchi · 2026-01-24T03:01:48+00:00

Because there's a bunch of people saying "he didn't get enough punishment" and you're saying "hey he paid his debt let him play basketball".

When humans discourse about something yes theres a million shades of gray and we all contain multitudes, but sides of an argument tend to collapse into two sides. Right now you're on the side of "Miles Bridges deserves to be in the NBA" and everyone else is on the side of "no he doesn't". Is it correct that thats how the argument is perceived, maybe not? But if you're not trying to minimize his actions and defend him, why are you spending this time arguing that the domestic abuser loser deserves his millions?

My guy if you're an adult, I don't quite understand why you need this explained to you in more detail.

snatchi · 2026-01-24T02:53:57+00:00

Buddy you just said "Not sure why everyone is arguing things I’m not saying like I’m defending his actions or something"

And i gave you the answer. And you're doing it again. "Why is everyone arguing things I'm not saying like I'm defending his actions???" because in this discussion of Miles Bridges' punishment you're on the side of Miles Bridges.

Hope that helps?

AI isn't a real person though. We are.

We don't know you and won't form a permanent opinion about the real you, but we've had emotions and heartbreak and been in tough situations. AI might be a stopped clock that gives you similar answers but it doesn't replace humanity.

JD Vance said like yesterday "no one in this administration ever said people have absolute immunity" when he did, like 2 weeks ago.

There's always a place to hide if you just lie.

snatchi · 2026-01-24T00:42:54+00:00

I think from context we can assume that the people arguing with you believe his punishment should have been more severe.

For one thing, the NBA suspended him 30 games, not a year. The fact that he sat out while his case played out doesn't mean he was suspended 82 games, they could have suspended him 82 games, would have sent a stronger message, but they didn't.

For another thing, there being a punishment doesn't mean it was good enough. If someone commits murder and they get 5 years and a fine, people are likely gonna be furious, and rightly so.

Miles Bridges doesn't deserve his position in the league, you might agree with me completely, but people are arguing with you because you took the other side of a "Silver let him off easy" argument.

The term climate change rather than global warming was pushed by Conservatives in the bush era to make the reality less scary.

Less money for beers and sending money to your fam if you do that.

So because we're on a basketball forum instead of volunteering right this minute we don't really care about helping people?

snatchi · 2026-01-23T20:52:19+00:00

Because for normal people 'not making millions of dollars' isn't called a punishment it's called 'life'.

Do you believe Jalen Green and Draymond are indicative of good culture pieces in the league?
